Positioned. at one snie of the gasoineter is a generating re k lflhovinge reduceci conical month 11 connected, by a tubular coupling member orthroat 12, with the lower discherge end of a can-bid holder or con--miner 13. The upper end of the cnrbid holder s formed with an inletmouth 14: normaiiy closed by a removable cap 15, there the ends of thecoupiing bar 12, suitabieflhnges 16, ariepted to be bolted tocorresponding flanges formed respectively on the mouth 11 and lowerdischarge end of the con'miner, While fixed upon the mp is a verticalsnhst a-ntiaiiy U shaped member tei cross her 13, adapted to Contact, atits ends, with the vertical arms 19 arising from the inlet mouth 14, forholding the cop against rotation. in one direction.

Joupied to the inonih 11 or the generator and leading therefrom into thegesomoier tank is a gas inlet pipe 20, while ieaing from the gasornetertank is an outlet pipe 22. Eeyond the gasometer,
